Felt Flower



New hair clip for Joey!

At first, planning for non-sew project but the glue turned out to be a disaster creation, maybe I have not get used to glue-ing everything.  Another new thing to learn.

I sewed this hair clip with OWL button.  I love this OWL button, it is just way too CUTE.

For this hair clip, soft felt was used and it attached to infant snap hair clip.

It turned out to be quite nice but I do think I need a lot of practice to make it perfect.  For now, I learn to appreciate imperfection thingy... :p


It is perfect on her, just that I placed the button up-side down.  sigh... another mistake, another experience, another learning curve.

Buttons.... anyone?


I never knew there is such a thing called "self-covered button" till I came across a very interesting tutorial by Christina Williams on "DIY Bobby Pins".

I went so many places just to hunt for this self-covered button and you know what, they nearly never exist.  Bobby pin with glue pad also nearly never exist as well.  So hard to find it and they are not available in local store, I purchased them all online.

Fabric? Beautiful fabric that imported from Japan or anywhere else also hard to find.

OK, I know, I know. I should stop complaining.

I think these buttons are CUTE.  What do you think?

As you all can see, still have 3 buttons are not belong to Booby Pin / snap hair clip.  I am not sure what to do with them yet.

You guessed it correctly.  Now all these belong to my little girl, Joey!!!

Yay! Way to go.....

My Lastest Addiction...!

 This little snap hair clip, handcrafted by me for Joey.  Joey has super fine hair, so I am using infant snap hair clip wrapped with felt.  This little hair clip measure about 5 cm in length.

Not too small nor too big.  Just nice on her.

Teacher Day 2012

Jessie got back from school with his message book given by the school that noticed us, the parent, for anything events/activities will be happen in the near future.  So it happen, Teacher Day for Year 2012 is just around the corner.

When I told Jessie about the message saying that we are going to do a flower (or more if time permitted) for his class teacher.  He added a house for Ms C, his day care teacher, number for Ms E, his ASP teacher & a tree for Ms H, his principal.  I was very surprised by his reaction and meaning that these teachers mean a lot to him.  I got a lot to do during the weekend, a lot of art work to be complete.


First, we did the flower for his class teacher.  He drew a big purple circle for the petal, 2 small circles for the pollens.  When cutting half way, he said "Mommy, I cut not nice.  Please help me to cut."

He pasted them as I instructed him.  When come to the leaves, I only drew one leaf.  He cut half and I cut half.  When pasted the left, he added flower has 2 leaves.  I said one should be enough, then he said "No mommy, two leaves".

Jessie got his own high requirements when comes to flower.

It looks like big lollipop rather than flower.  We shall see what can we do to further improve it.


A house for Ms C, his day care teacher.  I guessed a picture frame of a decent house will do.  He cut the sun, paste it and highlighted it.  He gave it 2 eyes and a smile.

I cut the tree & drew the outline, he pasted it.

When come to clouds, must be three, such a requirements.  He drew the outline with guides.

The house must be pink (do not ask me why, Jessie loves it that way, LOL).  He drew the outline, pasted them and he said chimney is brown. He even drew 3 clouds of smoke coming out from the chimney.

The outcome came out quite nice.


Another 2 art works to go. How it going to looks like?  I am unsure myself.  One thing I knew, children have a great imagination. 

Jessie, you make my day.

Love you.
